Records from the Department of Labor and Employment showed that 61 percent, or the bulk of establishments resorting to permanent closures and retrenchments for nine months in 2000, were located in the National Capital Region. 


Labor Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma said company closures and retrenchments remained largely concentrated in the NCR while the rest were distributed in other regions.
